After being inspired to make myself some peasant blouses this Summer, I have one of several complete!
I used black Swiss dot and vintage pattern Butterick 9768 pictured below. Like the lady in blue, I paired mine with a gingham skirt.
The pattern is super simple and fast, which I am hoping will mean I can find the time to complete at least two more before the Summer is over. I would love even more!
Photos were taken last Saturday on a very hot day here in Brooklyn on our way to the Renegade Craft Fair.
I love this blouse and I can't wait to make more!

Ooooh, what a classic, charmingly fantastic outfit! I so adore peasant blouses, too - and the fact that, though they look at first glance like they might not be too figure flattering (IMO), once on they almost are.
Wishing you a beautiful Sunday and start of July, dear Karen!

What a wonderful outfit, the blouse is perfect!
Thank you Jessica! I agree- peasant blouses don't seem to be flattering on the hanger, but on the body they are!
Thank you so much!
Love this peasant top. I have made a few but after seeing this it is clear that I really need a black one!! Thanks for such wonderful inspiration x
